Can I Eat Before My Wisdom Teeth Removal Surgery?

If you are having intravenous sedation or general anesthesia you must have nothing to eat or drink for 8 hours before the appointment. If surgery is scheduled in the morning, do not eat or drink anything after midnight. Anyhow, consult with your wisdom teeth removal dentist in Sydney regarding this.
